Leaving the small town, Tan Jizhi clearly felt uneasy. He ordered people to speed up and rush to Feihong Pass without stopping. According to his original plan, there shouldn't have been any problems. He had been hiding between the Da Chu State and Nanzhao for almost ten years and hadn't attracted the attention of any of the nobles, including the Prince Ding Mansion. And he hadn't entered the northwest from Feihong Pass. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have attracted Mo Xiuyao's attention. But the sudden appearance of the patrolling troops in the small town made him feel that he had lost control of something. Just as he was puzzled, he suddenly thought of a person. He couldn't help but inwardly suck in a cold breath — he only hoped that woman wouldn't be so stupid as to reveal everything about him. A murderous intent flashed through his eyes. It shouldn't be … … that woman should know that once she said it, she would die. Mo Xiuyao would definitely cut her to pieces … …
"Jizhi, rest for a while, I'm tired … …" Shu Manlin lifted the curtain and said with an ugly expression. She had been spoiled since she was young. How could she bear the pain of the bumpy carriage? She couldn't stand it anymore. Adding on Ye Li's occasional sarcastic remarks, Shu Manlin, who had endured for a long time, finally couldn't hold it in anymore. Tan Jizhi glanced at her. Her expression was ugly. He remembered that Ye Li was still pregnant and couldn't be too bumpy. After hesitating, he nodded and said, "Rest for an hour."
Shu Manlin happily called out that Jizhi was great. Then she jumped off the carriage, wanting to stretch her muscles. Tan Jizhi raised an eyebrow and looked at Ye Li in the carriage, "Wang fei, do you want to come down for a walk?" Ye Li's face was pale. Adding on the fact that she hadn't slept well, she looked even more tired. She shook her head and said, "Since we've stopped, I'll sleep for a while. Don't disturb me." Tan Jizhi didn't care. He naturally hoped that Ye Li had fewer things to do. Without waiting for him to say anything, Shu Manlin had already pulled him to the foot of a tree. "Jizhi, go sit for a while and rest. It's so hot. I'm so tired … … "Tan Jizhi was clearly very patient with her. He said in a low voice," Since it's like this, you can also lean on me and sleep for a while. "
"My successor is the best."
In the afternoon, the horses grazed quietly in the woods. Under the shade of the tree, a pair of lovers sat together and rested. It was a quiet and peaceful picture.
When Tan Jizhi realized that something was wrong, he raised his head abruptly and suddenly realized that the silence in the forest was too strange. Unknowingly, a green-robed man appeared at the foot of a tree not far away. His black hair was like the clouds, and the silver dragon pattern on his green robe flickered luxuriously under the setting sun. The man's figure was thin, and his handsome face was covered with a silver half-mask, but it still couldn't hide the sickly paleness on his face. However, even if he just stood there quietly and raised his head slightly to look in their direction, he inadvertently revealed a natural noble aura that made people feel ashamed of their inferiority. But at this moment, what made Tan Jizhi feel a chill in his heart was that no one in the forest, including the guards standing guard not far away, seemed to have seen the man at all. It was as if the overwhelming pressure he felt was a figment of his imagination.
"Mo Xiuyao!" Tan Jizhi said in a deep voice, but he completely ignored the pressure on his body, and desperately flew towards the carriage not far away.
The guards on the side seemed to have just realized that an unfamiliar man had appeared in the forest and hurriedly pulled out their weapons to meet him.
Under the tree, the green-robed man frowned slightly. Clearly, he was very dissatisfied with the situation in front of him. He took a step forward and passed through the guards like a flowing cloud. His wide sleeves carried a bewitching bloody light as he also headed for the carriage. He stood farther than Tan Jizhi, and his movements seemed slower than Tan Jizhi's, but he hadn't arrived much later than Tan Jizhi. Just as Tan Jizhi reached out to grab the curtain of the carriage, a silver light flashed and a cold silver radiance slashed towards his hand that was reaching towards the carriage.
Tan Jizhi gritted his teeth. "Mo Xiuyao!"
At this moment, he didn't have the energy to think about why Mo Xiuyao would appear here. The only thing he could think of was to defeat the man in front of him. However, this was extremely difficult. Mo Xiuyao was known as one of the Four Great Experts in the World. Today, Mu Qingcang had always been known as the true number one expert in Da Chu State.
After his attack failed, Tan Jizhi flew back and roared, "Release the arrows!"
The forest was quiet, but there wasn't the expected sound of arrows piercing through the air. Tan Jizhi's expression changed slightly. He stared closely at the green-robed man in front of him.
However, he saw that Mo Xiuyao didn't even look at him. He turned around and lifted the curtain of the carriage behind him. He looked at the woman in the carriage with a gentle and warm smile. "Li Li, I've come to take you home."
"Xiuyao …" In the carriage, Ye Li stared blankly at the green-robed man who was smiling and reaching his hand out to her. The faint setting sun shone through the forest and onto his body. Through the faint light, Ye Li could clearly see that his face was even paler and thinner than before. She didn't know why, but Ye Li felt her heart ache. Before she could stop it, sparkling tears had already fallen from the corners of her eyes. Looking at the graceful woman in the carriage, his gaze fell to the tears falling from the corners of her eyes. Mo Xiuyao's gaze suddenly became a bit panicked, but he still stubbornly reached his hand out to Ye Li. "Li … Is Li blaming Xiuyao for coming too late?"
Ye Li's eyelids trembled slightly. Only then did she realize that she had already shed tears. She quickly wiped them away and reached out to the man outside the carriage.
Mo Xiuyao carefully carried her off the carriage, but he was unwilling to let go. It was as if the person in his arms would disappear as soon as he let go. Raising his hand, he gently lifted Ye Li's disguised face. It was still gentle and beautiful, but it was a bit different from her usual elegant face. Mo Xiuyao took out a handkerchief from his chest and carefully wiped away the makeup that was covering her elegant face, revealing the originally familiar and beautiful face.
"Li …" Looking at the person in his arms, Mo Xiuyao's eyes were filled with gentleness and love, "Li … I will never let you leave me again."
Ye Li raised her head and was immediately met with those gentle and loving eyes. She suddenly felt that the cautiousness she had these days had disappeared without a trace. She just wanted to rest quietly in the man's arms. Gently nodding, she said, "En, we will never be separated again." Ye Li sighed softly. Mo Xiuyao's eyes lit up and he carefully held her in his arms. His handsome chin rubbed against her slender shoulder as he smiled and said, "Alright, it's a promise. We will never be separated again … "
Tan Jizhi, who had been ignored, stared at the arrogant man and woman in front of him with an ugly expression. But when his gaze fell on the bodies of the guards who had fallen not far away, the anger in his eyes was quickly suppressed by him. The guards who had been secretly following them had not reacted yet. It was obvious that they had been controlled or eliminated before they had noticed. And just now, Mo Xiuyao had arrived first, and even effortlessly got rid of several guards who were blocking his way. Just this skill alone was enough to make him arrogant. Tan Jizhi had never underestimated Mo Xiuyao and Ding Guo Manor. Otherwise, he would not have carefully hidden behind Mo Jingqi for so many years and secretly manipulated everything, because he knew that once he exposed himself, what awaited him would be a fatal blow from Mo Xiuyao.
